new vid! Doctor Who, Handlebars

[flummery]

Our Vividcon Premieres vid is up now:

Vid title: Handlebars
Song artist: Flobots
Fandom: Doctor Who (2005)
Vidders: Seah and Margie (Flummery)
Vidder website: http://flummery.org
Summary: I'm the Doctor. Look me up.

Notes: Thanks to merryish for the all the help, and especially all the baking, without which this vid probably never would have been finished in time. (she made us say that -- but it's true anyway.)

Right-click to download: http://flummery.org/handlebars/handlebars_dw_flummery.avi

There's a streaming version up on our imeem (http://flummery.imeem.com), but it's a little stuttery in spots and we're not sure why. Hopefully we'll get it figured out and fixed soon.

Imeem went boom, so we put a streaming version up on our site, which you can watch there or here:

ETA April 17, 2012: Our streaming vids are temporarily offline while we look into a technical issue. Sorry! The download still works, and we'll get the streaming version back up as soon as we can.

I really really enjoyed this! Downloading, thanks!

That was an amazingly awesome character study of the Doctor. I loved it.

Was rec'd here by the_tenzo's list. I haven't seen a better video for Ten. Thank you so much for making this and having it available. You made my day. :)

Seriously, this is probably the best Vid I've ever seen. I hope that some day I will be able to make a vid this good-I've learned the handlebars song by heart at this point, and see this vid in my head every time I listen to it!

I watch this vid at least once a week because it makes me SO happy. And looks great on my HDTV!

Seriously, BRAVO. For a long time I kept seeing something new every time I watched it. Thank you thank you.

Awesome!

Just saw it during the vid show at muskratjamboree. Great match between the lyrics and the character. I loved that you spread the Doctor's time amongst the companions.

Just saw this over the weekend at muskratjamboree and I was really blown away. Really an exceptional vid. The song is of course perfect for the fandom, and you did a spectacular job with clips. I've now made my husband watch it and I'm going to rec it in my LJ. There were a number of very good vids shown during the vid show at the con, and we were a very excited and appreciative audience, but I do think yours was one of the best received. The explosion of applause after the screen went to the credits was deafening. Thank you so much!

Unbelievably good. AMAZING. Probably the best vid I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. Thank you, thank you.

This is brilliant.

I don't know if I commented the first time around, which is a shame, but as I just linked some people to this the other day I felt that I should, if I hadn't. This is, without doubt, one of my favourite videos, ever. The way you match the lyrics, the tone of the music to the programme, to the character. Absolutely, pitch perfect.

I just saw this video this weekend and it blew me away. Quite possibly the best fan vid I've ever seen, and I'm not even a big Dr. Who fan -- meaning, I don't get all the references, and still this vid was powerful to me.

[smiggitysmee.livejournal.com]

This...this is effing amazing! ♥

[zoamh]

I randomly found this video ages ago on YouTube and just barely stumbled across this post, and it's still as amazing as it was the first time. Great job. It's very powerful.

A friend of mine showed this to me last weekend while I was visiting her and then a few days ago, someone on my flist linked to this and I had to download. This video is just absolutely amazing. Blew me away.

[scarlettgirl.livejournal.com]

Aiyee! I first saw this through one of those links of links of links that found me on youtube and it is, by far, my very favorite Doctor vid. The escalating destruction and terror is perfect. That is *my* Doctor - adorable, charming, sexy... and scary as fuck!

This vid came up for discussion because we are collecting fanvids to show at Writercon and I wanted to nominate this for inclusion, ljs pointed me to the imeem streem and I was thrilled to find it again. Whether or not you allow us to use the vid at the con, I just wanted to tell you how much I absolutely adore it. Thank you!

(This isn't a comment asking for permission, BTW, we have committee person doing that. This is strictly fangirling. *g*)

[nnaylime.livejournal.com]

Two things!

1 - This vid is gorgeous (and I'm not even a Dr. Who fan) :-)
2 - I'm in charge of fanvid programming at WriterCon this summer and would like your permission to show it. Would you have any objections? Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!

[flummery.livejournal.com]

Please feel free to show the vid! Do you need the m2v and wav file? If so, just let us know, and I'll put them up somewhere for you to download.

And thank you!

A friend showed me this video over the weekend, and I've just had to download a copy for myself because I really love it. Brilliant editting :-)

[goddessleila.livejournal.com]

I can't remember if I commented on this before, but just in case I didn't... This was fantastic. This is possibly one of my favorite fanvids ever, because it captured the completely opposite parts of the Doctor's personality and how quick he can change, or how slowly, when things are going Very Very Wrong. It was just... wow. That's the Doctor! That's him right there! Fantastic.

[gardendoor.livejournal.com]

You gave me goosebumps!

[missyvortexdv.livejournal.com]

awesome vid

[(Anonymous)]

Oh my god! that was awesome!
wow.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

I'm going to dl this soon. Thank you! :)

[eralkfang.livejournal.com]

I saw this on iMeem, and I'm delighted to be able to download a copy for myself.

This is one of the best music videos dealing with the Tenth Doctor that I've seen, covering his childlike glee to his sheer power. Thank you for making this. It's brilliant.

[radioactivepiss.livejournal.com]

You know, this isn't the first vid I've seen with this song but the song alone still never fails to give me chills.

And coupled with this video I'm bloody FREEZING. XD;; Just... the editing, the pace, the way it slides over towards creepy as hell and then WRENCHES back to happy at the end... it feels almost like the Doctor's reaction to all the suffering that just happened and is deliciously brr-inducing.

This is just amazing. And perfect. Andandand. I love this view so much more than angstbucket Ten. :) ♥

here though a rec by darsynia. this was totally awesome. thanks for sharing

[lilysea.livejournal.com]

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed "Handlebars."

It took my breath away and almost made me cry the first time that I saw it.

It really sums up the character of the Doctor.

One of my favourite vids ever.
